Fricking smoke cloud from the oil plant explosion has just reached London..
Weirdness, one half of the sky looks like its night, the other daylight/sunset..
It's awesome for all the wrong reasons...
So dark all over London....

It really is breathtaking..
Though I think it must have been even more so for the poor sods in Hemel Hempstead...

I think it'll be a bit like the tube bombings..emilystrange wrote:how they got away with 36 injured and no deaths (yet) is a wonder
minor injuries to begin with then the real extent becomes true..
There seems to be a penchant for disinformation in this country these days..
I mean for about two hours after the tube bombings it was all "electrical accident/minor injuries/small bomb"..
Fact is, four incidents on the tube at the same time is pretty clear cut case..
Worst of it was, my work didn't even tell us about it until about 2pm in an email.. despite the fact we're based right in the City...
The BBC story might shed some light on it:

Has the smoke cleared up a bit by now by the way? I heard they're tracking the smoke with airplanes and see if it's really poisonous at the moment?
